A 46-year-old woman in Kursk, Russia, transferred 28 million rubles to scammers after being lured by a "high-yield cryptocurrency investment" scam. According to police, the scam lasted about a year. The suspects approached the victim through messaging apps, claiming to reside in an Arab country, and used the promise of cryptocurrency investment and assistance with relocating abroad as bait to persuade her to download related apps and keep transferring money. The victim sold three properties, cars, and gold bars, and even borrowed money to fund the scheme. Eventually, after exhausting her funds, the scammers disappeared. (Bitsmedia)
